When do we get to see kitten pics? The week, in (quasi-) brief: NPC and programmer are in Cincy this week, so things at the office have been remarkably quiet. Much productivity. Mostly I've been playing with SAS and trying to get it to do what I want it to. Much fun, much learning. Also much frustration, but the good kind. What I'm redesigning will so seriously kick [butt] when I'm done with it! Evenings = vegging, mostly. I've been mostly brain-dead after work this week. Tuesday saw friends in the evening, yesterday DH was gone on a business trip and I drank vodka and piddled online. Z has been remarkably good lately, which is nice. Except waking up sucks. (Worst part of day: that moment of getting out of bed. Best part of day: that moment when I turn off the light and snuggle under the blankets with DH.)
Wondering out loud, P. Feel free to ignore. Is there a way for you to get promoted and still do the work that you love? It's so obvious from things you say that you LOVE much of what you do. Career mobility is important to you, but there are some things about your work that you just love. I would hate to see you promoted into doing something you love less. And, btw, you will be getting promoted soon. Just wondering. One of the companies I used to work for had two parallel career paths -- the "technical ladder" and the "management ladder." Most people started on the technical ladder. Some switched over to management, but many were able to stay on the technical ladder up through VP level or higher (until all our jobs were shipped overseas, but that's another story. lol) But the point stands. At this company, you could be a highly paid, highly ranked, high-level techie person. There was no requirement that you ever become a manager in order to advance. Wondering, rhetorically, if there's anything like that where you are. As much as I want to see you promoted, I would hate to see you promoted into a job where you get stuck in an office, doing employee evaluations for people who now get to do the work you love. ETA: This is not to say that you would not be a good manager, just that you've expressed no interest in being a manager. You have, however, rhapsodized about SAS, spreadsheets, databases, etc.
Oh yes. We have the same thing. I am looking for promotion on the technical track. (To be fair, I'm not really looking at getting up the ladder--I have only one more rung before I'm at the absolute top. ). I have made it blatantly clear that there is no way I hell, be it frozen over it not, I will go into management. I have been approached, several times, and have politely told them to bugger off. I will deliberately stagnate (ladder/pay wise, not work wise) before I go into management. P.S.--and I know I would be an absolutely terrible manager. Horrible. I do not have either the patience or the tact to deal with people, and I wouldn't be able to escape it. No way. Oddly, what got me noticed for potential management was my strong technical side...because our division is dumb enough to think that good technical people make good managers. Huge mistake. So I'm not offended by anyone suggesting that maybe dealing with people wouldn't be the best use of my talents.
friday: teach a huge bike and bench class....as usual, several informal meetings before I can get out the door...then off to hallmark to buy easter things for grandbaby and a b-day gift for sister and law...get emissions test on dh's car....PITA...home to practice for a zumba event in the evening and to take care of pets and clean house...nice chat with my aunt...back to the Y for zumba event...dh and I to bed early
Easter things for grandbaby. That has a nice ring to it. We haven't seen pix of the cutie-pie, in a while, btw. Him with bunny ears on would be nice to see. Just saying.
Hmm. I started so many responses to this, but they all sound intrusive, so I'll keep my trap shut. I hear you on the tech people don't necessarily make good managers point, though. The worst manager I ever had was easily the most technically brilliant. Multiple graduate degrees. Years and years in a lab. Dozens of papers published in "the literature." Couldn't have a face to face conversation with an employee. Thank goodness that, when we all lost our jobs, he became a venture capitalist. No more need for face to face interaction, most of the time.
My dad used to say, of a company that he worked for back in the day: "They take good engineers and turn them into mediocre managers."
THURSDAY: Took it easy, with the exception of -Took Child to/from school. -Took Husband to post-op appointment. Stayed in car during appointment. -Grocery store. Also e-mailed MWF classes and students whose appointments got cancelled. Need to figure out how I'm going to get back on track. ****** FRIDAY: Felt slightly worse this morning. By "slightly worse," I mean slightly lightheaded. Decided to try to go to work for 3 hours, but cancel afternoon meeting with first year team. 8:25--Dropped Child at work. 9:10--ENG 1101. How to assess the value of websites. Can you use them in your research paper? ***Fully 1/3 of class missing due to stomach virus sweeping campus.*** Ones we looked at and discussed included: Example #1) http://norml.org [Yellow light. Can use, as long as aware it is an advocacy site and that assertions need to be double checked with less biased sources of info.] Example #2) http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/aid/v2/n1/unicorns-in-bible [Note: This may be my favorite example ever, partially because I do not think I have ever met an atheist who cited the presence of unicorns in The Bible as his/her principle obstacle to faith, but also because it exhibits several of the qualities that in the abstract, students think are signs of a reliable webpage: -It is a dot org. -Article is written by someone with a "Dr." as part of her name. -There are citations and footnotes. Etc.] Example #3) Wikipedia. [This was in response to a student question.] Example #4) A holocaust denial page, also with a dot org, written by someone with a "Dr." in front of his name, with citations. I somewhat shocked at least one student by using this as an example, but I honestly think that being able to explain and articulate how you can tell this page is unreliable is important. It turns out to be hosted by a white supremicist group. -I made it through this class, but definitely felt a little lightheaded with all the standing up and moving over to the computer podium, then sitting, then standing, etc. Ate a banana and 6 mini-Mrs. Fields cookies to keep myself going. (The doctor told me to try to eat more than usual the day after my hospitalization, so I did, and think I will continue to do so until I am back to good health. Oddly enough, I have lost 3 lbs. while doing so. This suggests to me that something is not right...and yes, I am planning to follow up with my regular doctor, just to make sure this is ONLY vasovagal syncope.) 10:20--GREAT WORKS II. ***Slightly over 1/3 of class missing due to stomach virus sweeping campus. And two people who are there have recently recovered from it. That means that out of 17 students, 8 of them either had or currently have the virus.*** I talk about and hand back papers, but we decide to postpone discussion of Darwin until we have more healthy bodies in the room. 11:20--Pick up Child, who has a half day. Really not feeling great. Yes, I do find it concerning that less than 3 hours of work has exhausted me. I was running 6 miles at a go not long ago, and now I have the energy level of newborn? 11:45-2:15--2.5 hour nap. Feel somewhat better afterward! Lunch. Check in with Husband. Read Cornelia Funke's Reckless with Child. Check in with Husband again. Dinner. Grocery store run, as Husband has said the one thing he would really like is more ginger ale. I bring Child with me and make her lift the sodas off the bottom shelf into the cart. Husband goes to bed. Child and I watch the first half of "Dr. No." Put Child to bed. Unwind. Put me to bed.
I almost never get sick, so this current health crisis is coming as a real shock to me. I don't think I've missed a day for ill health in over a decade. (I have hurt my back twice, in December 2008 and December 2010, but both of those were over break, and a back injury isn't exactly an illness....) So if you don't mind, I'm going to think out loud, pending my visit to my doctor. My theories about what is going on with me. 1) It's psychosomatic. I'm anxious about fainting, so I hyperventilate and feel faint. If this is the case, then I should get better as the event fades into a distant memory. 2) My body just needs time to spring back. I know I was running on fumes before this happened. Maybe it just is going to take awhile to get back to normal under those circumstances. Now the less happy thoughts: 3) Diabetes? Was checked in May 2011, and had a FBG of 83, with healthy being 70-99. I think they also did some kind of spot check in the hospital (they definitely did a finger stick), so not likely, but possible. 4) Hypoglycemia? 5) Hypothyroid? Again, was checked in May 2011. Read was 1.19, and anything between .3-3.0 is considered healthy. Nonetheless, I had been worrying about thyroid function even before this episode, as I seem to find it cold when no one else does. There is family history of this, and my Dad just told me that he thinks my Mom got her diagnosis when she was around my age. Terrific. (Note: I believe my Mom is hypo, but she is very thin, which normally goes with hyper.) 6) Heart issue? We have a home blood pressure cuff, and my resting heart rate has been between 52-58 the whole time I've been home. That's a little brachycardic, even for me. (I believe I am typically 60-65.) My Dad has a pacemaker, though he didn't get it until much later in life than this. Just thinking out loud....
Oh ccm. I am so sorry you're going through this. No comments, personal comments or unsought advice, except this. If you have good health insurance and some time, talk your doctor into getting you tested for everything you've thought of and everything else she can think of. The worst possible thing that can happen is that you'll get an early read-out on a long-term condition that might be far worse later. The best thing that can happen is that you'll find out you are over-tired and dehydrated (or something similar and relatively innocuous.) Either way, you'll know. Knowledge is power. *lots of hugs*
CCM, although you do need to get checked, it does sound you have been burning the candle at both ends for the last few months, taking care of your DH and everything else. This may just be your body's way of telling you that you need rest. That may be effecting your mental state too. Hopefully, with your DH having gotten the surgery, that situation is on the way to being resolved.
yup...in addition to family being prone to fainting, could be low BP, low heart rate, low blood sugar, de-hydration, stress, peri-menopuase....I have found that having some sugar on hand and getting my head below my heart asap can often head it off if I feel it coming on
Friday: To work, despite the fact that I'd taken a vacation day. Training class needed more time so, since I took half a day to get DS to the doctor the other day, I went in for half day Friday. Training was uneventful, mostly. Except I was planning to be there until 11:30. Class tells me they have a new schedule that says I'm there until 12;30. Fine. Whatever. These training schedules change every day, so I'm not surprised. I'll give up another hour of vacation because, honestly, the class needs it. 12:30. Go to brief the chick who's heading up training on what happened in class today and she [w]itches at me. Apparently, there was a new new schedule that she published on Wednesday 5:00 PM and emailed me. She didn't give the students a copy. She gave me a copy, in my work email, which I haven't accessed since Wednesday, because I've been on vacation. I was supposed to be done training at 11:30. I think, "Well. Ya know. Don't freaking get in my face for coming in on vacation to help you but not reading my one billion work emails. And oh btw, your administrative skills are for [poo.] email at 5:00 = non-communication, especially when you knew I was on vacation yesterday. And oh btw , if you were half as good as you think you are, the attrition rate wouldn't be so bad and we wouldn't need all these training classes. And, while we're at it, if you were a good trainer, you wouldn't be repeatedly asking me not to update training documents that any half-a-brain trainer knows have to be updated, as things change." But do I say this? No. I just apologize, then plan to find even MORE pins for the voodoo doll I have of her under my bed. Just kidding!! I have to say, though, that, from an organizational perspective, there are few things more dangerous than a prideful person given free rein. No humility whatsoever, that one. While I'm updating her, my boss stops by, and starts to give me an update on my project. There were a face to face meeting and conference call while I was gone. Blah. Blah. He interrupts himself when he remembers that I am on vacation and just there to be nice. Then he mutters something about getting out meeting minutes and how he's been inundated with my project lately. Uh huh. Take a walk in my shoes, sucker! You're inundated because I haven't been there to cover your butt. For. Two. Days. Home earlier than I'd planned, because I really don't feel good. I've caught the cold that led to DS's bronchitis. I'm really hoping it stays at just a cold. Apparently, DS (who's still home from illness) is less than pleased with my unexpected appearance, but I don't care. You don't want my company? Take your butt to school. I am in a take no prisoners mood. DF a little. Dose DS up with antibiotics. Dose myself up with OTC medicine. Off to bed with me. No idea or care where DS went. Wake up at roughly midnight. Oh crap! There's no way I'm going to sleep tonight. Then unexpected Zzzz. Slept until almost 7:00 AM. Feels good.
sat...up at 7...drive to Niles, Mich to watch nephew's basketball game, take family to lunch for sister in law's birthday....visit with family more and play fitness games on xbox.....drive home, feed pets....df, fb, won't be up long
Please see a doctor soon... back when I had mine in November, I wasn't going to go to a doctor, but my DW talked me into it. They put me on antibiotics and steroids right away. They told me that they were seeing a lot of cases this winter turn into pneumonia and because of that they were treating new cases aggressively. I did in fact develop a touch of bronchitis that took about two weeks to totally shake off.
If I'm not feeling better soon, I will. Trying to wait it out because all the doctor will do, if anything, is prescribe antibiotics, which I try to avoid, if I can. Doing my bit to prevent the rise of resistant bugs, and whatnot. Thanks for the concern. DS is mostly better today, though, only eight days after he came down with whatever it was that led to bronchitis. Poor kid now has a week of make-up work for school. *sigh*
Friday: work, house stuff, piddle, unsuccessful nap, dinner and then dancing with parents, crash and their house. Saturday: up, grocery shopping, head to brother's/SIL's house, hang with SIL and baby, make mac&cheese and baked ziti for them and stick the fridge/freezer. Walk though woods with brother and talk, dinner, dance with niece*, talk late into night with brother. Crash. Today: up, strip bed and wash sheets, make breakfast, fold and put away sheets, drive home, nap, watch movies with DH. Niece hates to be still and is happiest when being walked around. SIl exhausted, brother exhausted. Good music on. AT while holding baby seemed to make her very happy. Which is to say, not screaming her damn fool head off. Anything for that result.
BTDT. Except with random dancing to Bob Marley. I was really into reggae when I was pregnant. When DS was born, my dancing him around to UB40, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Gregory Isaacs, etc, could calm him in a flash. People thought I was crazy, but I KNEW he heard that music in utero.
Watch Animal Planet "cuties" program,,,and see the most adorable small/short legged kittens/cats called munchkins...and nearly tried to find some of them..."nearly"...hold me back. DH got ready for D.C., son and D.H calls back and forth. Take a look at some ballroom sisters results in Las Vegas...FB them and congrats all around. Take a look at the snow melting fast at 55 degrees on top of the hill,,,decide to inform Dance Pro - uhhhh, you do not want to take a lesson in slush or bring out of town visitors...to water ski when they expect snow. It really is pretty warm. Countdown for a new baby of friend to arrive...she's obviously enjoying still swimming around instead of entrance to the world. Head out to DS new home..wow...note his awesome driveway that he himself did..."will have to steal his pavers" do you think he'll miss them? Alas, headed for sleep still thinkin about the munchkins....

The name "William Wilberforce" comes up a lot in evangelical circles these days, and David Vaughan's Statesman and Saint: The Principled Politics of Wilberforce (Highland Books) is a quick way for Americans to learn about the British evangelical member of Parliament whose courage and fortitude led to an end of the slave trade and slavery in the British Empire. In brief, Wilberforce gave up a life of personal peace and affluence upon his conversion to the Christian faith at 25. Some historians think he also gave up a clear shot at becoming prime minister to devote his attention to freeing the slaves. Loosely affiliated with the Tory Party, Wilberforce functioned as an independent and-because he offered a voice of conscience in Parliament-became more influential than prime ministers. Wilberforce persevered on behalf of the slaves until they gained their freedom just as he was dying in 1833. A cynical age that does not appreciate heroes could have a hard time understanding Wilberforce; Mr. Vaughan's book will help. |

Protective role of ascorbic acid in the decontamination of cow milk casein by gamma-irradiation. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23362934 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
Abstract Purpose: The aim of this work was to investigate the protective role of ascorbic acid on irradiation-induced modification of casein. Materials and Methods: Casein stock solutions were irradiated with increasing doses 2-10 kGy using (60)Co Gamma rays at a dose rate D• = 136.73 Gy/min at room temperature. The total viable microorganism content of cow milk casein was evaluated by Plate Count Agar (PCA) incubation for 48h at 37°C. Sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Time-of-Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) analysis were used to evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on casein integrity. Results: Gamma irradiation reduced the bacterial contamination of casein solutions at a lower irradiation dose when performed in the presence of ascorbic acid. The irradiation treatment of casein in the absence of ascorbic acid with a dose of 4 kGy could reduce 99% of the original amount of bacterial colonies. However, in the presence of ascorbic acid the irradiation treatment of casein with a dose lower than 2 kGy could reduce 99% of the original amount of bacterial colonies which suggested that the irradiation dose lower than 2 kGy achieve almost the entire decontamination result. SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis showed that ascorbic acid protected cow milk casein from degradation and subsequent aggregation probably by scavenging oxygen and protein radicals produced by the irradiation. Conclusions:: It is demonstrated that the combination of gamma irradiation and ascorbic acid produce additive effects, providing acceptable hygienic quality of cow milk casein and protects caseins against Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generated, during the irradiation process. |

Free DOS Extenders
Run 32 bit protected mode programs on old MSDOS
Free DOS Extenders and DPMI Hosts
DOS extenders allow you to run protected mode programs under MSDOS. Most of the free DOS extenders are 32 bit DOS extenders, allowing you to run 32 bit protected mode programs under DOS. Some extenders rely on DPMI services to be available, others can work under VCPI or require XMS and/or EMS services to be available (requiring you to load, say HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.SYS), while yet still others can work under plain MSDOS. DOS extenders were often used for programs (like games) that require more memory than was allowed under plain MSDOS, ie it allowed you to break the 640K barrier, so to speak.

Free DOS Extenders and DPMI Hosts
- HX DOS Extender
HX DOS extender is a 32-bit and 16-bit DOS extender that not only provides DPMI services for DOS programs but also provides a Win32 API layer that enables many Win32 console programs to work under DOS. It even provides limited support for DirectDraw, GDI and OpenGL graphics. It supports the Windows PE file format as well as the DOS MZ executable file format. Source code is provided. At the time this review was written, it is one of the few, if not the only, DOS extender still being maintained.
- WDOSX DOS Extender
This extender was originally developed for 32 bit programs generated by Borland C++ and Delphi. It has since been extended to support programs compiled and linked with Visual C++ and Watcom C/C++ as well as programs assembled using NASM. It provides most of the DPMI services, extends the most frequently used int 21h services as well as some of the int 33h (mouse) services. The extender is prepended to your executable and you need not ship any separate EXE files. A full-screen debugger is included. You can distribute applications bound with the extender royalty free even if they are commercial programs. Source code for the extender is provided.
- DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender
DOS/32 Advanced DOS Extender is a drop-in replacement for the Tenberry DOS/4GW DOS extender that comes with the Watcom C/C++ compilers (which are now free). It is compatible with MSDOS, Windows 9x/ME/NT/2k/XP, and IBM OS/2. It comes with documentation, source code, binaries, utilities to compress the executable, a debugger, a bind utility, etc.
- Causeway DOS Extender
The famous Causeway DOS extender for Watcom C/C++ has now been released into the public domain, sources and all. This means that it is not only free, you can do whatsoever you want with it (it's now public property). If you have a copy of Watcom C/C++ (which is free, and can be obtained through our Free C/C++ Compilers page), or if you use assembly language and want to write in 32 bit protected mode, this is the MSDOS extender to get. The DOS extender has a small footprint, is very fast, and has a good selection of useful features. It comes with a linker and symbolic debugger, all of which include sources. The complete manual is also available from their web site (you have to save it page by page). This was my personal favourite among all available DOS extenders (back when I still wrote MSDOS software). Highly recommended.
- DPMIONE - DPMI 1.0 Host
DPMIONE is a standalone DPMI 1.0 host that can run under real mode or VCPI. You can load it directly from the command line or as a device driver under DOS. It supports both 16 bit and 32 bit DPMI clients, provides full DOS int 21h and mouse int 33h translation services, supports the use of a swapfile, etc. It requires you to have an XMS driver loaded (eg, HIMEM.SYS). Note that this extender is only free for non-commercial use.
- X-32 and X-32VM
These two DOS extenders are apparently based on the DOSX extender that used to be distributed with the Zortech C Compiler and the Symantec C Compiler. Besides the usual ability to run protected mode programs, it also has support for running protected mode TSRs. The X-32VM extender has a virtual memory manager with memory mapped file I/O. The extenders are compatible with XMS, VCPI and DPMI memory managers, and they will work under any MSDOS compatible system (even embedded ones). The site also claims that most X-32 and X-32VM applications will work under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000. Note: you can get a drop-in replacement for the Symantec C Compiler from the Free C/C++ Compilers page.
- 386Power 32-bit DOS Extender
If you write programs in assembly language, you may find this 32 bit DOS extender useful. It comes with source code which you can link with your assembly code to make a program that can run in 32 bit protected mode.
- CSDPMI DPMI Host
This program is not really a DOS extender, but a DPMI host. It is useful if you need to distribute MSDOS programs that need DPMI services. It comes complete with source code. It is the DPMI server that comes with the free DJGGP C compiler (see the Free C and C++ Compilers page for more information about DJGPP). Sources for the DPMI host are also available here (csdpmi5s.zip). Note that if you get a file not found error, you may wish to search here for the file yourself. The filename at the time I wrote this was csdpmi5b.zip (binaries) and csdpmi5s.zip (sources), but the filename may change when a new version is released.
PMODE/W is a DOS extender that you can use with that Watcom and OpenWatcom C/C++ compiler. It is designed to be a drop-in replacement for DOS4GW.EXE. You can also get PMODE/W by downloading the OpenWatcom C/C++ Compiler listed on the Free C/C++ Compilers page.

I have never had an outboard serviced. But every time I take my vehicle in for service I ask the price of whatever I am having done, say a minor or major tune-up and an additional complaint possibly. I ask them to call me if anything comes up and give them my cell number. Yes, I have had repairs beyond the price of what I originally asked for, but I knew every step of the way what the problem was, what the price would be and when it would be ready. I have used numerous shops over the years and never had a problem really and no big surprises.
New car dealers charge by the job, using GM's time listed for each procedure for example. But there is a built in buffer and I doubt many mechanics take the listed time to do the job. If GM says the job takes 2 hours you get billed for 2 hours and the mechanic finishes faster - sometimes quite a bit faster. The return on an 8 hour day for a shop like this is pretty good.
I think it's best to ask around and find a shop that has a good reputation. If you use them and find they are good stick with them. A good small shop would be my choice over a large one.
But I think learning to do as much as possible yourself is the best solution.

Released: Aug 01st, 2005
Running Time: 174
Director: Jake Malone
Company: Red Light District
Riley Brooks, Janet Alfano, Autumn Bliss, Erik Everhard, Isabel Ice, Steve Holmes (I), Hillary Scott, Manuel Ferrara, Alicia Rhodes, Michael Stefano, John Strong, Tiffany Hopkins
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
The double vag makes this much more than just rowdy.
This is one of those wild-ass productions where, as the ending scene attests, shit happens. Literally. Fortunately, it is a minor problem, and Hillary Scott more than makes up for this inadvertent oops.
The wild life continues and Autumn Bliss is highlighted in an intense threesome with Steve Holmes and another guy as the studs share per pussy for a lengthy and tight double vaginal visitation. Another not to be missed miss is Tiffany Hopkins, who starts out seductively blindfolded and ends up, with eyes wide open, the meat in a d.p. sandwich.
Pre nom for Best Gonzo Release.

The result is a human drama that quietly argues that the gift of life isn't one to be taken lightly.
The Sessions is often brazenly funny, not from shocking dialogue but characters speaking and reacting the way real people do, especially with such a flustering subject as sex.
John Hawkes has, until now, been known primarily as the skilled character actor who brought an earthy authenticity to roles on TV's "Deadwood" and the Oscar-nominated "Winter's Bone." With The Sessions, he makes his mark as a bona fide member of screen acting's elite. And he does it while barely moving a muscle.
Thanks to Lewin's light but assured touch, The Sessions never wears its theological preoccupations heavily, instead allowing transcendence to creep up on the audience quietly.
John Hawkes is wonderful as O'Brien, as is Helen Hunt as the surrogate whose sessions with O'Brien form the crux of the film. The results are extremely moving and, in general, low on egregiously yanked heartstrings or the usual biopic filler.
The achievement of this simply told, exceptionally fine film is the clarity with which it portrays the drama of a good soul in an inert body.
Mark is played by John Hawkes, who has emerged in recent years as an actor of amazing versatility. What he does here is not only physically challenging, but requires timing and emotion to elevate the story into realms of deep feeling and, astonishingly, even comedy.
Although stylistically and conceptually it never lifts itself entirely out of the realm of a made-for-television drama – don't expect "My Left Foot" – The Sessions is bracing. It's also one of the few movies to recognize that people with severe physical disabilities have sexual lives, too.
The very sex-positive The Sessions treats intimacy with an explicitness and honesty that's very rare in movies. It may be the first film that doesn't turn premature ejaculation into a punch line.
Just see it. This movie will take a piece out of you.
Baring all and radiating an affability that defines the movie's tone, Hunt delivers her finest performance since "As Good As It Gets."
The Sessions is first and foremost about Hawkes' virtuoso performance, one of those "My Left Foot"-y transformations that make audiences verklemmt and generate awards talk.
The Sessions is fascinating, informative, engaging and heartbreaking stuff. Its easygoing, matter-of-fact tone makes it subtle and rewarding, not weird. Roses all around to all and sundry for one of the year's most captivating films.
Oct 13, 2012A film of tenderness and humor married to the unlikeliest of subjects.
It might just be the most poignant, moving film ever made about one man's surprisingly noble efforts to get laid.

Norwegian, JetBlue, American and United Are Adding New Cities and Routes
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Norwegian:
It�s already time to start thinking about next summer, as Norwegian is bringing new and affordable long-haul flights between the United States and Europe. They�ve got plenty of 787s ready to do the flying, and the plan is to connect London-Gatwick with three new cities. One-way options start at around $240, as they�ll be flying nonstop between London-Gatwick and New York-JFK, Fort Lauderdale, and Los Angeles. Things are already open for your booking pleasure, so hurry up and grab the low, low fares before they disappear.
· American Airlines:
The new American Airlines is busy expanding once again, and this time they�re building their access to Asia from their home base at Dallas-Ft. Worth. The plan is to start new nonstop flights�pending government approval�from DFW to Hong Kong as well as Shanghai. There�s still plenty of stuff to do before the flights take to the skies, but it does sound like both flights will be daily options. Boeing 777s�in different flavors�will serve both routes, and it looks like American Airlines is hoping things will take flight in June of 2014.

All the Boeing 787 News You Missed Over Labor Day Weekend
· British Airways' 787 took off to Toronto. It flies! Well, we already knew that. They were a half-hour late in arriving, but we wouldn't have wanted an inaugural on a 787 to end early, either. Check out our gallery to see more.
· British Airways adds Austin, TX to the 787 routes. While we're on the topic of the BA 787, might as well mention that this morning held the huge announcement of a new route to come in spring 2014: London to Austin, TX. The first flight will happen in March, bringing a second international destination to Austin Airport, which currently only has over-the-border flights to Mexico.

Delta, American, and Southwest Star in This Week's New Routes News
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· American Airlines:
Unfortunately things are starting up a little too late for the summer season, but we�re still excited to hear about American Airlines new plans for a new route. American Airlines is getting ready to link Miami with Milan, as the plan is to start flying back and forth beginning on November 21.
Tickets will go on sale later this weekend, so feel free to break out those credit card digits. The flights�operated by some Boeing 767-300ERs�will leave Florida at around 6pm local time, and the flights will arrive in Italy at around 9:30am local time the following day.
The time has come for LOT Polish Airlines to take one of their Boeing 787 Dreamliners out for a spin. They�re back at Chicago-O�Hare, as they�ll be flying all the way over to Warsaw beginning on June 5. In fact they�re actually running a pair of first flights.
The true inaugural is set to depart at around 5:30pm�that�s flight number 2�and then later that evening there will be a second 787 flight�that one is flight number 4. These will be the first 787 flights heading to or from Chicago-O�Hare, so it�s also a big deal for airport officials. Fun times if you can score a seat on either one of these flights, or any flight later this summer.

This Week's New Routes Arrive from American, Delta and British Airways
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Delta:
Not too long ago we heard that American Airlines was getting ready to fly down to Brazil, and now it looks like Delta has also applied for the ability to fly some new routes. Delta is awaiting approval to get things moving, but they�d like to add some more flights to their current schedule between S�o Paulo and spots like New York-JFK and Atlanta. They�re looking to get the necessary stamps and seals lined up as quickly as possible, as they are ready to start flying as soon as this year.
· British Airways:
So this one isn�t exactly a new route, but it is a new airplane on an old route. British Airways is finally prepping to receive their very first Airbus A380, and they�re thinking about where to send it.
It sounds like they�ll use the big bird to do the nonstop thing between Los Angeles and London-Heathrow beginning on October 15. Airbus A380 number two will be deployed out of London over to Hong Kong, and those flights should start doing their thing on November 15. There�s 469 seats across four different cabins, so you better start looking for a seat now.

Norwegian Air Shuttle's Cheap 787 Tickets Finally Hit the Web
We�ve been following the possibility of cheap 787 flights over to Europe for quite some time, and it looks like that might actually be happening sooner rather than later. Norwegian Air Shuttle has been running the numbers and counting their airplanes, and now they have some details and information to reveal.
The carrier is still on schedule to launch some flights between New York City and Oslo as soon as May of 2013, and they�re even ready to start taking reservations for these new routes. Their booking engine went live yesterday and, with the promise of roughly �250 for roundtrip flights, it quickly crashed. The site is back up now and there are still cheap flights to be had if you�re flexible, but the crazy deals may be a little hard to find.

There's Plans Afoot for a 787-Only Airline
Just about a year ago we heard about Norwegian Air Shuttle and their plans for cheap flights between spots like Oslo and New York City. The airline has a whole bunch of 787s on order to get that flying done, and they'll likely be the cheapest transatlantic travel aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. However, it might technically be a separate airline carrying you across the Atlantic.
It looks like the carrier is creating sort of a subsidiary to be responsible for some of the longer flights. The new venture will be known as Norwegian Long Haul, but we�re not totally sure if that�s what they�ll be plastering along side of the fuselage. The new carrier�that�s not really a new carrier�will have a different operating certificate, but apparently might retain the usual branding.

Norwegian Air Shuttle Confirms 2013 Will Be Its Year for Cheap 787 Flights
We�re only weeks away from 2012, but we�re already looking forward to some exciting stuff scheduled to land further in the future. The new year definitely has cool plans in store for commercial flights, but 2013 is when Norwegian Air Shuttle plans to link the United States with Scandinavia�on the cheap.
There was some news kicking around about the airline�s plans for low-cost, long-haul routes, and it sounds like things are still moving full speed ahead. Best of all it sounds as though NAS will utilize Boeing 787s on the new routes, so this might be one of the cheapest ways to experience the Dreamliner in all its glory. Even if Norwegian Air Shuttle goes no-frills, some of the 787's standard features should still shine through. Just so you know, right now they�ve got like six of the brand new birds on order.
New Routes / Airlines / Airline News / Norwegian Air Shuttle / Scandinavia Travel / → All Tags
Start Dreaming of Cheap 787 Flights to Scandinavia, Thanks to Norwegian Air Shuttle
You might not have heard of Norwegian Air Shuttle�they usually just do their flying under the Norwegian name�but you might want to add them to your airline "to-do" list. Right now the carrier kind of does mostly domestic routes here and there around Norway along with some international options to spots like Stockholm and Copenhagen. However, it�s the future we�re most interested in, because it sounds like as soon as they get some 787s, they�ll be headed to New York City.
Unfortunately the airline is a little ways down on the Boeing 787 delivery list, but once they do arrive there are already plans in place to link both Stockholm and Oslo with New York-JFK as early as two years from now. Scandinavia is perpetually on the travel to-do list, so maybe we'll be checking that off over and over come 2013.

Norwegian Air Plans to Ruin Your Flight
While a host of airlines both foreign and domestic figure out what they're doing on the in-flight WiFi front, a budget airline in Scandinavia is working to make the whole Internet available in mid-air. Norwegian Air Shuttle, a low cost carrier with destinations throughout Europe, will outfit its fleet with both web access and cell phone service by the fourth quarter of 2008.
In addition to WiFi and mobile phone coverage, VoIP calls will also be allowed so you can talk to your buddies in Timbuktu on the cheap.
So far there's been no mention of how much the service might cost. Here's hoping that jabbering away on a cell is prohibitively expensive.

Title | Uniform spectral radius and compact Gelfand transform |

Abstract English | We consider the quantization of inversion in commutative p-normed quasi-Banach algebras with unit. The standard questions considered for such an algebra A with unit e and Gelfand transform x bar right arrow (x) over cap are: (i) Is K-nu = sup{parallel to(e - x)(-1)parallel to(p) : x is an element of A, parallel to x parallel to(p) <= 1, max (x) over cap <= nu} bounded, where nu is an element of (0, 1)? (ii) For which delta is an element of (0, 1) is C-delta = sup{parallel to x(-1)parallel to(p) : x is an element of A, parallel to x parallel to(p) <= 1, min (x) over cap >= delta} bounded? Both questions are related to a "uniform spectral radius" of the algebra, r(infinity)(A), introduced by Bjork. Question (i) has an affirmative answer if and only if r(infinity)(A) < 1, and this result is extended to more general nonlinear extremal problems of this type. Question (ii) is more difficult, but it can also be related to the uniform spectral radius. For algebras with compact Gelfand transform we prove that the answer is "yes" for all delta is an element of (0, 1) if and only if r(infinity)(A) = 0. Finally, we specialize to semisimple Beurling type algebras l(w)(p)(D), where 0 < p < 1 and D = N or D = Z. We show that the number r(infinity)(l(w)(p)(D)) can be effectively computed in terms of the underlying weight. In particular, this solves questions (i) and (ii) for many of these algebras. We also construct weights such that the corresponding Beurling algebra has a compact Gelfand transform, but the uniform spectral radius equals an arbitrary given number in (0, 1]. |

Boy and the RattleSnake Story
A little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, "Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die." The little boy answered "No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you'll bite me and I'll die." The rattlesnake said, "No, I promise. I won't bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain." The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.
They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, "Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old." The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, "Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now." The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.
He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. "Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."
Did you try it and like it? Or hate it?

Yes, Bamboo Skewer works great. I checked Wal-Mart, Target, and Kroger near me, and none had the correct diameter. They had larger diameter (about 3 mm ?) that could be sanded down at the ends to make fit, but I am weight conscious, so wanted the correct lightweight size. I went to an Asian grocery store and found a bag of the correct 2.5 mm diameter of about 100 for about $1. Notice some are straighter than others, so hand picked the straightest and cut them to size. They weight almost the same as the the stock CF Tubes. I was going to post that the Bamboo Skewers were indestructible; however, I have managed to break a few, but I do believe they are stronger than the stock CF Tubes.
Also when trying to find a "mold" to use as a guide to re-shape bent Tail Rotor Blades, I noticed size C Batteries have about the same diameter/curvature as the Tail Rotor Blades. This means containers (pill bottles, film canisters ?)having approximately the same diameter as size C Batteries can be used as "stock" to fabricate Tail Rotors: no additional bending required, only cut shape out, drill hole for shaft, and attach. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be worth looking into. |
Shaking in San Francisco
Good info i812!
I have finally gotten my little V100D01 dialed in and progressed from my CB100. It took setting the dual rates to 70% and -15 for expo. Got a full day of hovering last weekend I noticed a somewhat slow wobble/shake. Torn between flying as is for a while - as I only recently "cracked the code" and wanting to dial her in - I decided Damn the torpedoes and tore it apart. One by one I replaced blades, blade shaft (rubbers and C-rings), main shaft, and finally replaced stock tail motor w/2.5 bb setup. Nothing helped and when the tail motor was replaced it seemed to double the frequency (make the wobble/shake twice as fast). I noticed a somewhat loose fit of the tail boom into the frame socket and built up some ca around the boom to tighten the fit which seemed to help some but still shaking in San Francisco. Anyone got some ideas? This heli was "rode hard and put away wet" pror to obtaining my CB100 to learn on - so parts could be bent. I started to take the blade holders and head apart and order replacements and of course upon reassemble broke off a silly little screw in a blade holder. So dead until my parts order arrive. |
I also posted: Quote:
A little of wobbling is normal when you transition from forward flight to hover, or vice versa, and with time it is possible to learn how to compensate to some extent. I would suggest to first go through i812's checklist, then after you have verified that the hardware is fine, if the problem persists, you can increase a bit (no more than 15-30 degrees at a time) the gain of the AIL and/or ELEV on the gyro, depending on which direction the wobbling goes. Personally, I adjust the gyro only if I am sure that the problem persists after 3-4 flights, since a little bit of variability from time to time may actually be due to my thumbs...
i812 - thanks. I should have remembered that I bookmarked your blog
I have not been able to check the blade grips till my replacement parts arrive as there is no way I am even going to try to remove the broken screw shaft. DMala, good suggestion on the gyro, I will have to check my pot settings but seem to remember spinning them all to full clockwise to dumb it up some for me. |
What is wrong with the Blade Grip screw? Did you check Blade Tracking? |
Hi all,
From my experience... A lot of wobble and shake is the gyros over-correcting. Try turning the gains down. My 4#6S shakes bad [side to side] if the AILE gain is too high. I get something of a tail bobbing action if it's the ELE. And the rudder response gets very slow if that one is too much and drifts if it's too low. My V100 is in a box ,as I moving for the next month so take this info for what it's worth. regards, Bill |

swash initial level
Just today, mine started flying differently. It seems to be less stable and a little harder to control. There have been no hard crashes for a while.
In taking a closer look, I noticed that the swash is tilted to the right and back upon connecting with the transmitter (with center trim on both right stick trims.) I have yet to do I812's checklist, but was wondering about the swash position. Could it have slipped down on the shaft, causing the tilt? I don't know if it's supposed to have a snug fit on the shaft. |

Wow! I am really sorry to hear about this-I was going to use them to build the Grille on my '35-

I was going to look at AC for my insert, but after reading this I think I call Dan Fink and see what the deal is with them.
http://www.hotrodproducts.com/grille_inserts.htm Regards |
Has he charged your CC yet? If not, cancel the order - in writing and with a priority mail, receipt requested If he then charges your card you can challange the charge with the CC company and they will handle it for you. I have talked to them at York and quite franky, didn't care much for their attitude for their very highly priced items - but that was only a one time occurance, but enough that I wouldn't purchase from them.

I bought a grill from him for a 36 Chev,, and yes he does take his sweet time,, but the grill is really nice.. and definitely worth the price.. I got the same run around from him,, he did answer the phone when I called , but always had some lame excuse,, like he has done with you,, I think it took about 3 months to get it out of him,, I finally had to put him on the spot and demand a time.. I got the impression he was a small time one man show, but you see alot of his grills out there,, and they ARE very reasonable priced,, Dan Fink is way over priced,, but popular,, I used one of his also,, The grill in my aviator is a Fink,, with a valley shell,

Just talked to Alumicraft about my 34 grille insert, the guy who answer the phone answered all of my question and gave me a 6 week lead time. His insert was 875.00 which is one of the best prices I found. I guess I'm going to see if he can do the job by sending him my grille shell.
Wish me luck... Steve |
You DO get your moneys worth with Alumicraft,, I would suggest that you give him his quoted 6 weeks then if you don't have the grill,, I would pester the hell out of him,, get a definite delivery date out of him,, and keep checking to see if he has charged you for it before it is delivered Good luck Bill |
Maybe I should tell him it's for a show and I plan on detailing who I used to build this car, His name would be on the build board,
Body by... Grille by..... Motor by... ect.... Maybe I'll look for a show in Nov. and ask him if he could have it done by then. Regards, Steve |
This is stressing
That might be a prod for him to get it done,,,but I am wondering if he really needs the publicity he would be getting from you advertising for him,, since it doesn't seem he really cares,, but I guess that would be worth a try,, he did mention to me in one of my calls to him,,That if he would have known it was for a shop he would have got it out sooner,, probably another lame excuse he uses I definitely would use him again because of the cost/quality of his grills, just ordering WAY in advance,, He does make the grills for most of the kit car manf. so I am sure he is swamped,, but at least he could be honest with his coustomers.. |

Rebuilding consumer and business confidence starts today
17 December 2013
The release today of the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook by the Government should mark the official start of the campaign aimed at rebuilding consumer and business confidence in our future, says the Australian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association Limited (AVCAL).
"The Government was always going to face a very difficult task in trying to balance the nation's books," said AVCAL's Chief Executive Officer, Yasser El-Ansary.
"The economy is now in the midst of major structural change, and given the fragile economic climate right around the world, we have to manage the task of repairing the budget very carefully."
"What we've seen today is a commitment that the Government is prepared to make tough decisions to wind back certain expenditure over time, but at the same time a recognition that we can't afford to jeopardise the task of rebuilding consumer and business confidence in the marketplace," said Mr El-Ansary.
"A more positive outlook for consumer and business confidence is vitally important to driving more activity across our economy."
AVCAL has made a number of submissions to the Government over recent months encouraging a renewed focus on implementation of innovation policies that can act as the engine room of productivity gains across our economy, which will help to make businesses more efficient and more profitable.
"Today's updated budget numbers bring into sharp focus the fact that we have to get on with the task of lifting productivity, and making sure that we have the right policy frameworks in place to support businesses to do that across our economy," Mr El-Ansary said.
"Innovation is a core ingredient in lifting productivity, so there's a very obvious opportunity right now for the Government to focus on encouraging more private sector investment in new technology and more efficient production processes."
"Between now and next year's federal budget, we need to see more urgency in implementation of policies that support investment in innovation, given the vital role that will play in driving the future of Australia's economy," said Mr El-Ansary.

Moto Guzzi V7 Racer Limited Edition – First Look
Rider Magazine
July 28, 2011
Filed under Latest News, Moto Guzzi Motorcycle Reviews, Retro + Vintage Motorcycle Reviews
Fancy an old-school cafe racer but don't have the time, intestinal fortitude or English wheel to build one from scratch? Well, Moto Guzzi will happily sell you one of these just-released, limited-edition V7 Racer models for $9,790. Seems a very appropriate way to celebrate the Mandello del Lario company's 90th anniversary. Stay tuned as we're currently trying to pry one away from Moto Guzzi for a test.
Highlights of the V7 Racer:
* The V7 Racer is powered by the same fuel-injected, 744cc, 90-degree V-Twin engine as the V7 Classic.
* A red frame inspired by the earliest V7 Sport models, paired with matching red hubs and swingarm.
* The black fuel tank matches the front and rear fenders, seat cover and wheels.
* The fuel tank is finished with a leather strap that runs along the center of the tank.
* Aluminum side covers, throttle body covers and muffler bracket.
* Silver wire spoke wheels and black rims highlight the red wheel hubs.
* Suede solo saddle.
* Custom billet aluminum adjustable rearsets.
* 40mm Marzocchi front fork with rubber bellows.
* Fully adjustable, twin Bitubo remote reservoir rear shocks.
* The braking system uses a 320mm floating front disc with fixed four-piston Brembo caliper and a 260mm rear disc.
* Pirelli Demon Sport tires.

Yes, Transformers are all about change and adaptation but LP has changed too much to continue with the TF franchise and likewise, the franchise has changed to the point where they need too not have LP tagging along.
I'm not thrilled about TF4 even being made to begin with and neither am I am impressed with LP's work after the "A Thousand Suns" album so they may actually still be a good fit for each other(see: "Beating a dead horse") but it just seems to me that if the TF's are going darker in the tone of the movies and ramping up the action (cheapening the franchise, imho) then they need to go with someone like Avenged Sevenfold or Disturbed for a headlining soundtrack contribution.
These simply aren't a "Thinking Mans" type of movies and you don't need to involve a band that has shown some maturity and intellectual progression over the years in such a project.
Megatron Wolf wrote:dear god i hope not im so tired of them being associated with transformers, its time for someone new & someone better. Bay & hasbro keep saying that this movie will be different but i just keep seeing more of the same, heres your chance to change that. Why not give some up & coming band their big break or find someone whos been out of the game for a while & is trying to get back in, Red Dragon Cartel would be a great choice and the name even fits with the motif of the movie. Granted id like to see them paired up with a better movie but with all the zombies that will be running out to see this it would be great publicity.
Shadowman wrote:I will put forth the theory that it was the internet itself trying to punch him in the face.
5150 Cruiser wrote:You do realise that more than one band makes the soundtrack right? That since the First film they have only contributed one song per movie? So each sound track had anywhere front 12 to 14 songs, so in total that means that 3 songs out of 34? So if you don't like there music skip it and listen to the 31 remaining songs.
Several bands within the soundtrack were up and coming. Several had been out of the game for bit and had there chance. Get it? Had there chance. Linkin Park is a world wide known name and has had great success with there music. Their a good band. You don't have to like them, but like it or not their music has played a pivotal part of the movies success.
"If it aint broke, then don't fix it".
I guess you can say that their to the movievers what Stan Bush was to the 86' animated movie. I for one am glad their going to be part of the new movie.

Fflaw wrote:Linkin Park has really fallen away since their first album, well over a decade ago, a lot of what they've made up until DOTM has been mediocre at best, but Iridescent for DOTM was a very melodic song that could fit so perfectly into the movie...Except they used it within the movie in awkwardly small chunks, and in the absolute wrong parts of the movie, rather than larger chunks in the more emotional parts of the movie.
I don't actually doubt LP in making the right atmospheric music for the movie, I doubt the creators of the movie to use the music effectively, as they have failed in the last several movies.

The Right Stuff
While maintaining his official residence in the frozen wastes of Cornell University, Steven Stucky remains one of the major shaping forces in our local new-music scene. He served as the Los Angeles Philharmonics composer-in-residence starting in 1988; four years later he became the orchestras new-music adviser. He has composed commissioned works for this orchestra and several others. Alongside Esa-Pekka Salonen he has planned, programmed and produced the Green Umbrella concerts, whose continued popularity most other orchestras might well envy; he emcees the pre-concert discussions with the visiting composers, and does yeoman work in keeping those talks sane and informative. His essays in the program books on the content of specific concerts, blended into more general thoughts on what its like to play a part in the endangered world of the contemporary arts, need to be gathered into a book.
Stucky turned 50 on November 7, and received the deserved tribute from the Philharmonic: American Muse, a commissioned new work for baritone and orchestra, and a Green Umbrella program that included two works by Stucky and three others by composers close to his heart -- his teacher, the late Witold Lutoslawski; a current student at Cornell, Joseph Phibbs; and one of the last scores by the late Jacob Druckman, a close friend and fellow prime mover.
There was a time when I found myself trapped in the mental set whereby the term conservative, in reference to a composers chosen musical style, was tantamount to the Mark of Cain. My duty, or so I once saw it, was to preach the gospel of liberation whereby the only right moves were steps into the unknown, and the greatest of sins would be to repeat what you or someone else had done once before -- even if as recently as last week. I have come to realize -- and Stuckys music was an important aid toward that awareness -- that a composers chosen language is far less important than what that language is made to express. I like to invoke the criterion I found in Virgil Thomsons essay on judging a new work: Is this merely a piece of clockwork, or does it also tell time?
Stuckys American Muse is, by accepted judgmental standards, a conservative work. He takes four American poems -- by John Berryman, e.e. cummings, A.R. Ammons and, inevitably, Walt Whitman -- each of them a precious small scene painted in elegant words, and transfigures those paintings up one level into suave, gracefully persuasive lyric lines for a singer (Sanford Sylvan) with a special gift for turning the English language into spun gold. Never merely a supporting accompaniment, Stuckys orchestra becomes a participant, a panorama of color onto which the words may dance. One trick might strike you as obvious: In the setting of Whitmans I Hear America Singing, each of Americas singers gets a distinctive instrument to sing along with. Any five composers might have come up with this trick; it is Stuckys gift to carry it off with fresh surprise and delight at every twist. Never mind about conservative or liberal, left or right; this is music that tells time.
It had better be made clear right off that the King Arthur that brought Orange Countys Eclectic Orange to a triumphant close last week has nothing to do with Lancelot, Guinevere or the Knights of the Round Table. John Dryden (1631--1700) served as poet laureate at a time when Britons needed reaffirmation of their national heritage after the turmoil years of the plague, Cromwell and the Restoration. His Arthur wanders through a world of staggering beauty, gorgeously reflected in Henry Purcells music. At the end the clouds part, the British shore is revealed, and Venus proclaims the works best-known aria, Fairest isle, of all isles excelling. Obviously, Dryden earned his royal salary.
Purcells incidental scores for several of Drydens plays are the only reason to attend to such jingoistic foofaraw; two years ago the Long Beach Opera dressed the PurcellDryden Indian Queen in mariachi drag, and that was all right. In the rickety old auditorium of Santa Ana High School, William Christies Les Arts Florissants, in their first-ever Southern California visit, did something different with King Arthur, but also exactly right, dispensing with most of Drydens verbiage, substituting a paraphrase narration by Jeremy Sams, and offering the two hours of Purcells rich and fancy-laden music more or less intact but without scenery or costumes. A nine-member vocal ensemble, informally dressed, shared the dozens of roles, bolstered by a 16-member instrumental ensemble led from the harpsichord by Christie. Oh Lordy, it was beautiful; you had to be there.
Every operatic soprano makes her own kind of peace with the music of Giuseppe Verdi. Far rarer and more precious, however, is the singer with the innate, essential Verdi in her voice: the throb, the marvelous iridescence as the simplest, purest melodic line whose accents of heartbreak transfigure the stage and the audience as well. There was Licia Albanese in her prime, Leontyne Price, Maria Callas . . . who else? As Elizabeth Futral sang Violettas spare, devastating lines of surrender and resignation in La Traviatas sublime Act 2 duet two weeks ago with Opera Pacific at Orange Countys Performing Arts Center, some tingling in my neck hairs told me that another singer had come to join those ranks.
Elizabeth Futral: In less than a decade the young American sopranos career has ranged far and wide. Last season she was the Stella in Andre Previns A Streetcar Named Desire at its San Francisco premiere, a role of high drama but musical impoverishment. This was her first Violetta, but she fulfilled the opera as though shed lived in it all her life. Opera Pacifics Costa Mesa audiences are only slowly overcoming the Orange County image of cultural reluctance, but the crowd this time knew to stand and cheer.
On a handsome production borrowed from the San Francisco Opera, Linda Brovsky created a lively and genuinely provocative staging, from the crossed lines of social hostility among guests in the opening party scene to the chill grayness of the final scene. David Miller, the handsome, believable Alfredo, sang with a young-sounding voice if not yet fully supported; Louis Otey was the elder Germont, hearty of voice and sympathetic of manner. Best of all, the performance fairly glowed under the baton of John Mauceri, whose shaping of the opening prelude, even with an undernourished pit orchestra, gave notice of a careful, loving exposition of Verdis wondrous score. Traditional cuts -- the second-act cabalettas for Alfredo and Germont -- were opened, at least one of two stanzas each; the first-act backstage music was played backstage, as is proper but doesnt always happen.
As the Los Angeles Opera faces its iffy future under incoming leadership, 50 miles down the interstate there are signs of some healthy competition from the reborn Opera Pacific. So far, at least, so good.

This paper is an attempt to highlight some questions and issues inherent in the conceptualisation, development, and delivery of Islamic law curricula in diverse jurisdictions and in an increasingly globalized academic environment.
There exist significant challenges, both conceptual and methodological, for Islamic law teaching in Muslim and non-Muslim jurisdictions. In Muslim jurisdictions, it is imperative to move beyond an exclusively doctrinal, literal,
and inflexible approach to teaching and learning Islamic law. To achieve this, instructors need to consciously evaluate the content of their courses as well as
their classroom techniques. However, that approach presents somewhat of a dilemma: On the one hand Muslim academics endorse the dynamic and varied interpretations enriching the Islamic legal tradition by different schools of
juristic thought. On the other hand, in reality, this diversity and dynamism does not translate to a tolerant intellectual environment in the academy and indeed
